TheAtlanticCraft is a popular YouTube channel with nearly four million subscribers that revolves around a love of the Minecraft game. The channel frequently shares mods and adventures in the world of Minecraft as "Penguin King of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis."
Now, those who love the channel have a new way to follow the story of Atlantis monarchs Cody and Joe in an animated YouTube Red Original series called 'Kings of Atlantis.' While there are graphic references to the blocky style of characters in Minecraft, there are otherwise no official ties to the game in this series.
Some of the other all-new, kid-friendly original series that will be shown on YouTube Red play with the idea of offering game-inspired entertainment. For instance, 'Fruit Ninja: Frenzy Force' is an animated series from the creators of the chart-topping mobile game Fruit Ninja.
